"Always observed on March 2nd, National Old Stuff Day gives notice to all that old stuff and encourages you to try something new. Well, maybe not ALL the old stuff, but some of it. It’s a day to break out of the old routines and experience new ones.
We have all heard the saying, “same old, same old.” Well, this is the day to do things differently. There is no limit to how you can change up your day. Take a moment to recognize the things that you do each day. Is there a better, more efficient way? Examine the route you take to work. Evaluate how you fold laundry. Perhaps there’s an improved way of cleaning windows.
Maybe it’s just a way to brighten your day or someone else’s day. Whatever it is, strive to make the day new, not the same old day it was yesterday."
My notes: Change is never easy. Even getting out of our routine can create stress & anxiety. But changing things up can help the mind & body.

"The calendar loves pie days and National Banana Cream Pie Day is no exception! On March 2nd, be sure to get your slice of one of America’s all-time favorite creampies.
The traditional custard pie was modified into a recipe that resulted in the appetizing and flavorful banana cream pie. Dating back to the 19th century, banana cream pie found its way into recipe books. Today, recipes fill cookbooks and flood the internet for this yummy pie. In the 1950s, soldiers of the United States Armed Services ranked the banana cream pie as one of their favorites.
Banana and cream complement so many other flavors that bakers enjoy experimenting in the kitchen. Both chocolate and peanut butter pair well with bananas. Many other ingredients do as well. It should come as no surprise when exploring recipes when you discover the sheer number and variety to choose from. It’s a testament to just how much the banana cream pie is enjoyed and loved."
My notes: While I love bananas, frozen ones in my shake, I haven't had a banana cream pie. Have you? What did you think of it?

"Each year, National Read Across America Day is celebrated on March 2nd, the birthday of Dr. Seuss. The annual event is part of Read Across America, an initiative on reading created by the National Education Association. Since the event is designed to encourage reading in children and is fostered through the schools, when March 2nd lands on a weekend, the day is observed on the closest school day."
My notes: Even though many have used "Cancel Culture" on Dr. Seuss books, they are still loved by others. I don't believe in cancelling or deleting. If you don't like it; don't read it! But don't put your views on everybody else.

"International Rescue Cat Day is observed on March 2 every year. There are a lot of homeless cats on the streets just waiting for a day like this where people will come to take them off the streets and adopt them as a member of their families. To adopt a cat, you just need to visit a pet adoption agency and after the agency does their due diligence and everything checks out, they then go ahead with the adoption. Most domesticated cats are valued by humans for companionship, especially by people who work from home and people who live in apartments." My notes: Shelters make it sound so easy to adopt. Unfortunately, some people can have issues. Another option is if you know of a person or family member that has to rehome their pet due to certain instances (chronic illness, death, etc). They rather relinquish to somebody they know than to place in a shelter. This day is for you Steve & all cat lover members |

I love cats, I had no clue that today was national rescue cat day thanks for sharing ZandraJoi! I also agree on cancel culture, if you don't like a book just don't read it or if you don't like something in general like a show, you don't have to watch it. |

When I posted this, I tried to think of the cat lovers out there & I apologize I didn't tag you. But I'm glad you found the post anyways  Thank you for your opinion on cancel culture. I wish more would be like that!
Awesome! That's a good omen for my trip to another shelter in a little while. Per your picture, looks like it worked out for you |
